Villa Lavanda  

Perched right on the sand in sun-washed Podstrana, this beachfront villa-aparthotel lets you step straight onto the beach. Strozanac Marina is about a 7-minute drive and Split’s Diocletian's Palace and Riva sit roughly 11.6 km away. Pet-friendly and offering free self-parking, it’s a handy base for exploring the Dalmatian coast.

Apartment-style rooms are air-conditioned and come with full kitchens, full-size fridge/freezer, stovetop, flat-screen satellite TV, desks and in-room safes. Expect garden or sea views and easy beach access. Housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.

An on-site restaurant and three beach bars keep the good times close to the water. Pamper yourself in the massage room, rent bicycles for coastal rides, or fire up the picnic and barbecue areas. Tour/ticket assistance, laundry, car rental and a 24-hour airport shuttle (surcharge) are available. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking round out the practical perks.

Complimentary wireless internet and in-room desks make it easy to check in on work between swims. A safe-deposit box is available at the front desk.

The villa’s restaurant serves meals nearby, while three beach bars pour drinks and light bites steps from the shore. Staff can help with local dining tips and excursion bookings.
